TO:
Charles Stewart, County Administrator
FROM:
Jim Bruner, County Engineer

RE:
Application for Abandonment of a portion of the 20’ alley in Block 7, East Beach, St.
Simons Island
As required by the Ordinance, staff has reviewed the application of Ray Richard, agent for Hollister
A. Hill for abandonment of a portion of the 20’ alley between Fourth and Fifth Street, adjacent to lots
5, 6, 7, and a portion of lots 8 and 9 in Block 7, East Beach as shown on the attached sketch.
a. SOURCE OF TITLE: Prescriptive easement based on recorded plat of East Beach
Subdivision, dated April 1, 1927, recorded in deed book 3x, page 409. Said plat was recorded
April 2, 1927.
b. PRESENT USE OF ALLEY: The portion of the 20’ alley proposed for abandonment is not
currently used by the public because of privacy fences and other encroachment in the alley.
c. PAST HISTORY: To the best of staff’s determination the alley has never been opened to the
public nor maintained by the County.
d. POTENTIAL USE IN THE FUTURE: Future public use of the portion of the alley proposed for
abandonment could be used for drainage improvements.
e. BENEFIT TO PUBLIC IN CONTINUING USAGE: The portion of the alley proposed for
abandonment could continue to be used by the public for drainage.
f. BENEFIT TO PUBLIC IN ABANDONMENT: Abandonment would return the property to the tax
digest.
For the above reasons, we concur with the request for abandonment of a portion of the 20’ alley
between Fourth and Fifth Street, adjacent to lots 5, 6, 7, and a portion of lots 8 and 9 in Block 7,
East Beach and recommend approval by the Board of Commissioners provided an drainage
easement is reserved.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
I move to approve the abandonment of a portion of the 20’ alley between Fourth and Fifth Street,
adjacent to lots 5, 6, 7, and a portion of lots 8 and 9 in Block 7, East Beach with a drainage
easement being retained.
In addition to the sketch and original application, I have attached a list of all property owners with
their addresses within 500' of this alley.
